Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 3 tablespoons Salted butter, melted (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–7 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
Spread the softened butter for the filling evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly on top.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, cut side up.
Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Brush the warm rolls generously with melted salted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for added flavor.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
